The Bottom Line The reliable, easy-to-use Samsung SCX-4720F has great performance but a few glitches, notably limitations on its USB flash drive reader. This truly business-friendly color laser multifunction can seamlessly replace the army of devices in your office. The MF8170c is a great home-office multifunction, but in bigger offices it's suitable only for patient workgroups. The Dell 1815dn is a good choice for a home office or a very small workgroup that needs a network-ready multifunction machine for monochrome printing, scanning, faxing, and copying. The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touch screen, multiple networking options, and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.
